Mucon K2P Variable Orifice Control Module

Working alongside specialist drive manufacturers has allowed Muconm to utilise advances in drive technology to provide a control module that delivers all the variability of the hand operated Iris Diaphragm valve, but in an electrically powered package.
Once programmed, the controller can utilise any 4-20mA or 0-10V input signal to give direct, closed loop, control over the open diameter of the valve orifice. When this control module is used in conjunction with a powered Mucon Iris Valve, feedback from a weigh scale can be used to slowly close the valve as it approaches the target weight or in the case of a mill the feed rate can be controlled in real-time, based on an interpretation of the load on the drive motor.
The module also monitors torque and can be programmed to gently push to a closed position whilst protecting the motor from damage; we believe this will allow us to apply electrically powered Iris Valves to applications like big-bag neck choking, amongst many others.
